Description

A CdZnTe strip detector large area array (∼ 60 cm2 with 36 detectors) with capabilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy has been built as a prototype for a space flight gamma ray burst instrument. The detector array also has applications in nuclear medical imaging. Two dimensional orthogonal strip detectors with 100 microm pitch have been fabricated and tested. Details for the array design, fabrication and evaluation of the detectors will be presented
